Halloween

Halloween is coming!! You know this in Vancouver because people start selling fireworks. (????) Gotta carve some pumpkins up! Or rather...draw something on pumpkins and make Chris to the work part. What? I get rashes when I touch them!

Working on chapter 2 of my story. Judgement of Paris. Paris always has two names in myth, Paris and Alexander (Alexandros in the Greek). I've decided that to make sense of this, he's Alex the shepherd, and once he finds out his true lineage as prince of Troy he regains his birthright and is given back his princely name, Paris. I don't know if this is right, I can't find anything, but it's how I make sense of two names. Now I just have to finish the dialogue between Paris (Alexandros) and Mercury. I haven't figured out what I want for Mercury yet; how serious/well spoken/youthful etc that he should act. So I keep rewriting it because I'm not happy with him. But soon it will be posted!

Work is going okay, hard tho. Long hours and early mornings. At least all my shifts are at the same time of day lately. That really helps.

Gotta figure out how to book time off too, so I can get to Boston for x-mas and by x-mas I mean January sometime since that's the closest time I'll get off probably. We'll see what happens. OOh and I gotta sign up for school soon too..So much to doooooooo!
